Gary Larson, Bill Watterson, et al are huge recluses because they're enormous perverts whose shame colors their every thought and action and them being performatively principled is a result of that. When Watterson dies there's definitely going to be a huge locker full of sketches of weird porn along with his rambling manifestos about the newspaper syndicates controlling everything and the world falling apart because people drive instead of cycling.

By comparison, Jim Davis has nothing to be ashamed of and no pretensions of what he does. He is a humble and free man who likes to make people smile with a fat cartoon cat who tells jokes.

just in case you're being sincere and have never actually noticed this on a tabby cat before



alternate origin stories, btw

quote:

The Islamic world contends that Mohammed had a tabby named Muezza who saved his master’s life by slaying a snake that had slithered into Mohammed’s sleeve. Later, when he was called to prayer, he discovered the cat had fallen asleep upon his sleeve. To avoid disturbing the tabby, Mohammed cut the sleeve from his garment.

From that day forward, every tabby was born with an ‘M’ on his forehead to remind the world that Mohammed loved cats, and that cats should always be respected.

Another version of the Mohammed legend claims that when his cat killed the snake, the grateful Muhammad stroked her back – hence cats never fall on their backs. He also put his noble hand on her forehead and that is why every tabby has four dark lines on her forehead.

quote:

Emperor Ai was also famous for being the most effusive homosexual emperor of the Han dynasty.[1] Traditional historians characterized the relationship between Emperor Ai and Dong Xian as one between homosexual lovers and referred to their relationship as "the passion of the cut sleeve" (斷袖之癖) after a story that one afternoon after falling asleep for a nap on the same bed, Emperor Ai cut off his sleeve rather than disturb the sleeping Dong Xian when he had to get out of bed. Dong was noted for his relative simplicity contrasted with the highly ornamented court,[2] and was given progressively higher and higher posts as part of the relationship, eventually becoming the supreme commander of the armed forces by the time of Emperor Ai's death. Dong was afterward forced to commit suicide.
